To Chinni: Daddy Dearest :-)


From Stick Ice Creams
To living my dreams,
From fairy tales
To weighing corporate scales,
You’ve been my guide,
My mentor, my ally,
You set the bar,
Been the best.
I love you
Daddy Dearest.


From you I learnt
How not to be burnt
By a book unwisely
Chosen. Instead, if I may,
Call it my talent to assay,
A book by its cover
Makes me quite the entertainer.
Of course, it is you
I owe this to,
You are the assayer ablest.
I love you
Daddy Dearest.


From seafood to mutton
I am a borderline glutton.
My love for food,
Dates back to girlhood,
When any restaurant,
New or old
We would go and explore
And let the magic unfold.
For culinary connoisseur
You are adeptest.
I love you
Daddy Dearest.


My partner in crime,
From you I get
My tendency to rhyme.
Life’s lessons you taught me
To always put first family.
In that too an order,
First preference to mother.
My pillar at my bleakest,
My cheerer when I’m weakest,
I love you bestest,
My Daddy Dearest.

How we broke up and rebuilt our relationship : 7 rules that helped us build a solid marriage

Image
  Read it on Medium here   My husband and I have been married for more than a decade now and have been partners for almost double that. Today, we have a fairly solid marriage; meaning there are days we absolutely cannot stand each other but still manage to work like a well-oiled machine. And there are most of the other days where we know without a doubt that there is no one else we would rather spend our lives with. This well-oiled machine did not spring up overnight though. The drafts were made much before we even got married. Because much before we actually got married, we broke up. Much like a phoenix, we rose from the ashes. We crashed and burnt. But, we also rebuilt something from those ashes. We rebuilt a stronger relationship and ultimately our marriage.   The history When the man and I met, we were young, starry eyed and hopelessly in love. We moved quickly. Within a few months, we moved into a house and less than a year in, we moved cities so he could be closer to his family.

Good News:)))) No not those kinds....

YIPPEEE:))))) Someone teach me how to do the tribal dance, or I'll horrify people here with my utterly graceless prancing...yess....I got a, well, kinda promotion and I got a HIKE. Am I on top of the world or what... List of things to do with extra cash... 1) Look for a proper house, now that I can pay decent rent 2) Buy that MP3 player I've been eyeing for so long??? 3) Get a new wardrobe???? 4) Join music classes??? 5) Party harder :))) 6) Buy a washing machine??? Shit.....I gotta choose now...how I hate this, why didn't I get a good enough hike to be able to do aallll of that??? But I got a hike nevertheless..sorry, cannot wipe that goofy smile off my face for sometime now :P. Have been house hunting for the past few days now, and it is so damn difficult. Suddenly, even the auto wallah who lives in a proper house as aginst a room seems better placed in life than me. First I go the broker and tell him what I'm looking for and my budget, and invariably, the first thing

Sistersick :((((((

Parents decided to surprise sister; gifted her a cellphone. Had called me for expert opinion, and then decided to dump it in the garbage and go right ahead with exactly what I had advised against. All that apart, had asked to be on the phone while giving it to sis, and this is how it went: Sis: "This is for me???" (can imagine slightly rounder eyes on face) Mom, dad and (me(from the other end of country on phone)): "Yes baby!" Sis: " Really???" (slightly highpitched voice now) (to me now) "Akka, I think ammam chinni have bought me a cellhpone(in an awed voice)" Sis(after finally opening box) : " THAAAANK YOU!!!!" (in a voice people sitting in the front in my cab can hear) Me: (goofy smile on face..no words..too overcome by emotion just imagining the look on sister's face. ) .......................................... Seems like today's going to be nothing but "thoughts of sister" day! Wandering through
